Please be sure the content remains accessible in some way since it contains lot of useful information. Either lock the wiki to be readonly, or transfer the content, or dump it at the time of closing completely and store the dump.

Closure requests should follow the policy http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Closing_projects_policy and go through LangCom/Board review. Since the consensus was clear, and there actually is inactivity with vandalism/spam, I don't want to impose unnecessary bureaucracy.

Closing is making it impossible to edit. Deleting is something else.

Yes, it is important to note this is a special case, since like outreach.wikimedia.org, tenwiki was created without Board or LangCom approval. T(he language code the site uses is for a language with no literate tradition.)

I think that we should move this to ten.wikimedia.org just to make sure that no one's confused.

I've added to closed.dblist for the time being

It seems the lock is ineffective by some reason. In https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SiteMatrix tenwiki is marked as locked but the editing is not really disabled. (see http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights)

It seems there must be some extra steps, nothing documents how we get them to show as editing restricted etc

You are able to edit because editing on closed wikis is in fact *restricted to stewards*.

Thanks, Reedy, it works now. It was probably related to groupOverrides.

To SPQRobin

no, not because I am steward. The 'edit' right (and other rights) was not removed from '*' usergroup as it is now.
